Extract

Starch is digested rapidly in the rumen, but more slowly than sugar sources. The effective use of high-sugar products in supplementation programs requires knowledge of their effects on forage use and of how they compare with other common supplemental carbohydrate sources such as starch (Sniffen and Robinson, 1987). The objective of this study was to determine the effect of supplementing sucrose or starch on in vitro first order dry matter disappearance model of various ruminant feeds (lucerne, wheat bran and sugar beet pulp).
